For over three decades, every year hundreds of imprisoned writers from around the country submit poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and dramatic works to PEN America’s Prison Writing Awards, one of the few outlets of free expression for the country’s incarcerated population. We’re proud to release the 5th annual volume, Variations on an Undisclosed Location, the 2022 PEN America Prison Writing Award Anthology on December 2nd.
